Rupert's been off his food for a couple of days and been quite cuddly and clingy

Eating lots of grass last night and threw it up, This morning he has done a Poo on the kitchen floor and looks to have blood in it

Hoping nothing serious, though about 4 days ago he was sick and that has fabric in it, like an ear or something off his toys

First time for me having a poorly dog, so a little worried  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

A trip to the vets, an quick jab of anti biotics and £75 from your wallet along with a light diet of fish/chicken/rice should see him ok. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

I am expecting the hit and for it to be less than my excess Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Some dogs are like that. Our Sam was a walking ailment and was forever at the vets with something or other to the extent we almost had our own parking space. Never anything serious until he was elderly.

Toby is the opposite and very rarely goes to the vets. We do find bits of wood from the kennel in his mess sometimes and he gets the runs quite regularly. Usually after eating chickweed on the footpaths which seems to be a delicacy for spaniels.

We always keep pro-kolin stock which we get from our local manor pharmacy. Excellent stuff for poorly guts.

Oh and yes your vets bill will typically be under your excess. No wonder our head vet drives a FFRR when they charge £15 just to see your pet. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Been through that a few times with Susie. Spaniels are notorious for eating all sorts of unsavoury things. Sometimes we think she feigns illness to get her rice/chicken and peas! Susie has a knack of recovering as quickly as she gets ill so over time we have learned to hold off dashing straight up the vets at the first sign of a cough. I'm sure he'll be fine.

£15????? It's nearer £45 for a quick peek and a squeeze down here!

It will be down that way. Rich end of the country

I've often joked that if a nuke went off in any of the East Midlands counties or even Yorkshire, the news story wouldn't be the top headline. The top headline would be a 10 minute power cut in Kent. If it happens in Kent it must be in the news.  LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Now £60 lighter and the dog had a injection and given some paste (4ml twice a day) after been checked out

10 mins at £60 is quite a good hourly rate  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

As per tenet's post, whenever ours are under the weather, fresh cooked chicken in a saucepan, plain rice, they love it. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

Tried that last night (scammbled egg and plain rice) wouldn't eat it

Due to his poo been very red decided best thing for him Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

My dog had to have his nuts off on monday as he had a tumer growing.

Sorry to hear that, puts Rupert's upset stomach into place

Hope his doing well  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I am sure he will be okay but for the last couple of days he has been sick,had the runs and not eating much and sleeping a lot,it's always a worry as they cannot tell whats wrong back at the vets next week to have the stiches out.
